元器件交易网讯 2月26日消息，据美联社报道，苹果公司再次就电子书反垄断案提出上诉。

苹果公司向联邦法院提出的诉讼指出，上次法官对苹果公司操纵电子书价格，违反了反垄断法作出的判决是错误的。

苹果公司要求上诉法院推翻之前判决苹果公司违反反垄断法。此次上诉是对美国地区法院法官丹尼斯科特判决提出异议。丹尼斯科特去年发现苹果公司与图书出版商勾结，他们在2010年肆意提高电子书的价格从而牟取暴利。她无法确保苹果公司不再违反反垄断法，因此任命华盛顿律师迈克尔·维奇作为苹果公司监控人员长达两年。

苹果公司驳斥了反垄断调查结果，并表示其进入电子书市场加速了竞争，价格降低，并加速创新。

苹果此前也提出了一个请求，希望先暂停对苹果公司的监控，待上诉法院做出判决是否还需要再监控后，上诉法院小组在本月初裁定迈克尔·维奇可以再次监控苹果公司电子书但要有一定的下。

司法部并未就寻求此事议论的电子邮件作出答复。（元器件交易网白玉涛译）

以下为外文：

Apple filed papers on Tuesday telling a federal appeals court in New York that a judge"s finding it violated antitrust laws by manipulating electronic book prices "is a radical departure" from modern antitrust law that will "chill competition and harm consumers" if allowed to stand.

Apple filed its formal written arguments before the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, asking the appeals court to overturn the judgment in Apple"s favor, or grant a new trial in front of a different judge.

U.S. District Judge Denise Cote concluded last year that the Cupertino, Calif.-based company colluded with book publishers in 2010 to raise electronic book prices. She appointed Washington lawyer Michael Bromwich as monitor for two years after concluding Apple was not doing enough to ensure it no longer violated antitrust laws.

Apple"s papers filed Tuesday refuted the antitrust finding, and said its entrance into the e-book market "kick-started competition in a highly concentrated market, delivering higher output, lower price levels, and accelerated innovation."

Apple had also filed a request that the monitor"s work be suspended until the appeals court decides whether he was correctly appointed. A three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled earlier this month that he can once again take up his work but under the limits decided upon by Cote.

An email seeking comment from the Department of Justice was not immediately answered.
